U.S.-Ukraine Minerals Deal Draft Features Vague Reference to Security Guarantees
Briefly

A draft agreement between Ukraine and the United States proposes that Ukraine hand over revenue from its natural resources to the U.S., incorporating vague references to security guarantees sought by Kyiv. This new wording, absent in earlier drafts, hints at possible ongoing U.S. support during the Trump administration for Ukraine's war efforts or cease-fire enforcement. While the draft's status remains unclear, it has been confirmed by Ukrainian officials who participated in the negotiations. President Zelensky is set to visit Washington soon for the signing of this critical agreement, featuring key signatories from both nations.
The new draft agreement between Ukraine and the United States includes vague language on security guarantees, which Kyiv has pushed for, but lacks specificity on commitments.
The inclusion of a phrase about security guarantees in the agreement could imply continued U.S. support, potentially influencing aid for Ukraine’s war efforts or cease-fire enforcement.
